Quick acces when opening file missing

My office computer had an update and when I try opening a file in Archicad, the file explorer that pops up doesn´t have the "quick acces" folder like it used to have before the update. I have to look on hundreds of folders to find the one I need. How on earth can I fix this?

I found how to make it work. When I open the file explorer, I went to the top panel and clicked on the 3 dots, then Options. In the general tab, I selected that file explorer opens for "Start". Now when I open a file in Archicad, I have the "Start" option in the right panel, and there are all the pinned files.

That would be a Win11 question, not an AC question. Does Start not show you what you want? Looks about the same. I never use Quick Access so I never noticed the UI change.

 

Also, has nothing to do with Visualisation...

I don't have it in Windows 11 either.

It may not be there in Windows 11 like it is in Windows 10.

If it is, then there will be a Windows System setting somewhere to turn it on, but where I do not know.

 

This is it in Windows 10, if anyone knows how to turn it on in Windows 11.

I suspect it is just not there now unless you can go into some 'classic' mode.
